Kolkata hosts special screening of Chauranga

Kolkata, Jan 6 (IBNS) Bollywood director Bikas Ranjan Mishra and producer Onir and Sanjay Suri came down to Kolkata for a special screening of their film 'Chauranga' at a city mall on Tuesday.

Actress Arpita Chatterjee , who is playing a significant role in the film, said, "It was a very nice experience to work with this crew. I  really enjoyed working under Bikas Ranjan Mishra."

Open Tee Bioscope actor , Riddhi Sen said, "The best part of the film is that in 2016 social discrimination and violence still exists in the society."

The film is set to release on Jan 8.

Inspired by a true event, Chauranga is a fictional account of six days in a dark corner of India. A story of the violence of class oppression that still exists in rural India


The film is about the story of a 14-year- old Dalit boy who  is growing up in an unnamed corner of India.

His dream is to go to a town school like his elder brother and his reality is to look after the pig that his family owns.

His only escape is to sit atop a Jamun tree and adore his beloved passing by on her scooter.

His unspoken love is as true as his mother’s helplessness who cleans the cowsheds of the local strongman’s mansion, with whom she also has a secret liaison.

When the boy’s elder brother comes on a vacation to the village, he soon finds out about his younger brother’s infatuation.

The learned elder brother makes him realize the need to express his love and helps him write a love letter.
